UEFA have charged Paris Saint-Germain forward Neymar after the Brazilian angrily reacted to his side's Champions League elimination to Manchester United on Instagram.
Neymar criticised the refereeing performance of Damir Skomina, with the Slovenian awarding the English side a controversial penalty in stoppage-time, which Marcus Rashford converted to send United through on away goals.
"It's a disgrace," Neymar wrote on Instagram, coupled with a photo of the Presnel Kimpembe penalty incident.
"They even put four people who don't understand football watching the incident in slow motion. This is unreal!"
"How can [Kimpembe] use his hand with his back [to the ball]?
"Ah fu*k off."
UEFA have now opened disciplinary proceedings against Neymar for "insulting/molesting acts match officials".
The case will be dealt with by the UEFA Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body with the date of the hearing yet to be confirmed.
